LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE INCREASING BOOM.

paper" as some were disposed TO do few
weeks since when the RECORD UNION first
announced that the boom spirit was
already experienced in Sacramento, in in
creased real estate values nd an advance
in business activities generally. The evil
dences of this fact were given in these
columns from day to day by reciting the
testimony CT real estate dealers and promi-
nent business men. and others, and some
OF our interior contemporaries referred to
the statements given and said, 1.-The
REooRD-UNIos is trying TO get up boom
IN Sacramento"
We stated then, as we do now, that it is
no getting up a BOOM" but that the
boom is here and will soon be realized so
clearly that IS he who runs may read9'
1t may be safely stated that the prices of
real estate in Sacramento, especially in the
eastern and southeastern sections, are al
ready not less than 80 per cent higher than
when we first made the announcement
and the prices asked to-day will be again
as much exceeded in another month.
spirit of thrift and enterprise is not some
thing that is being inflated by strenuous
effort and newspaper talk, but is something
tangible and permanent; that it has not
been gotten up, but has come down, and
has come to stay.
The San Francisco Bulletin of last even
ing, referring to the boom in Sacramento
and other portions of the interior, says
These Northern California towns are
likely to show a much larger growth in the
near future. The signs of the times are
thatway. Everybody is preparing for it
and the railroad companies are making ex-
traordinary efforts to get ready for moving
Eastern people whose faces are turned
toward California"
So we say that the people of Sacramento
now begin to perceptibly feel the impetus,
the pushing forward of the tide of progress,
the fact of which was received with inter
rogation points when we first started its
pres ence, not q month since We now
state further that before the LIST of January
next the number of excursion trains bring
ing Eastern visitors to this city, largely of
the class that have heretofore turned their
attention to Southern California, will be so
great as to entirely surprise the most san
guine anticipations OF our hotel and real
estate men and tax the railroad facilities to
their utmost.
General Passenger Agent T. H. Good
man, of the Southern Pacific, was asked
day or two since about the indications of a
large excursion business here next winter,
and replied Immediately that it would sur
prise Californians. Continuing, he said:
g 1t is impossible to say how many will
come, but such excursion agents as Ray
mond & Whitcomb and Thomas Cook Il
Sons can reasonably make an approxima-
ton. Mr.. Whitcomb, of the former firm,
told me not long ago that 10000 visitors
will come next winter. This is a very
large number, but man of his experience
ought to know what he is talking about.
The tourists will come in all directions
and by the various transcontinental lines.
Raymond d Whitcomb will bring their
first winter excursion in September, and il
will come over the Northern Pacific so
that the Yellowstone Park can be visited.
One new feature in the excursion trains
bule cars that George NJ. Pullman has about
completed. These cars will run clear
through from Boston to this city. The OBJ
ject of Mr.. Whitcomb in going East was to
make some arrangement with Mr. Pullman
III making dates for excursions in these
cars. This train of cars will, on its first
trip, come over the Union Pacific to this
city and go back ON the same road. On its
second trip out from Boston it will come
u. / Al IL
son, Topeka and Santa Fe. 1t will go back
on the same road, and then will come back
through Cincinneti and New Orleans, and
then over the Southern Pacific road here
This is TO be kept up during the season.
Sacramento needs therefore to prepare
for this advanced condition of the boom,
and take such advantage of the occasion as
shall aid our substantial prosperity, by secur-
ing in and about the city investors in our
real estate by desirable home-seekers, and
add greatly to our business activities and
population. There is good work, and
plenty, for the City Improvement Associa-
ton, and tits entering upon it in an auspici-
Gus time. Let the good work go forward,
and have the hearty aid and cooperation
of every resident of the capital city.
